Why do Individuals have to buy more gadgets or up grade their computers just to get their mail?

It appears that yahoo. has slower connection these days. So if you want to get your mail a little quicker, they tell you to join or sign up for something else. Which ususally has more gadgets, and additional prices for all these gadgets. I say, let's post our postman back to work. Buy stamps an envelopes. It may take 3 days for some-one to get a letter. However sometimes it takes 3 days to make a connection also. Postman are more reliable. They are faithful, and trust worthy. And your mail will be delivered.
